Nothing Has a Separate Self
The details of this discussion focus on star meditation and mindfulness, emphasizing the importance of nourishing our mind to avoid suffering and cultivate happiness. The practice of conscious breathing, called bhavana, is essential for uniting body and mind. By living fully in each moment, such as drinking tea or walking mindfully, we generate joy and happiness. Pebble meditation and visualizing oneself as a flower, a mountain, a still lake, or an open space strengthen our loving presence. Mindfulness, concentration, and deep insight are essential for transforming anger and suffering into understanding and love. The five mindfulness trainings offer concrete practices to protect life and save the planet. Understanding the interconnection of all things helps to transcend discrimination and cultivate thoughts of love and compassion. The noble eightfold path, including right speech and right action, guides towards the cessation of ill-being and the attainment of well-being.
